AFIS Core

The AFIS core is the heart of the AFIS system and is comprised of four server components (matching, database, communication and backup servers) and the Administrative Workstation, which is responsible for management of the entire AFIS system.

Some of the main features of AFIS Core are:

Real-time “one-to-one” verification of persons by their fingerprints with a Livescan scanner

Rapid identification of suspects and fugitives

Identification of persons sought by Interpol or other international law-enforcement agencies

Identification of subjects who are either unable, or unwilling, to provide information about themselves in the event of mental illness, accidents, etc.

Identification of criminals by their latent fingerprints collected from crime scenes

Identification of deceased, including victims of accidents and natural disasters

Identification of criminals by latent fingerprints collected from crime scenes

The AFIS Core can scale to support a few to thousands of users

Mobile devices are also supported to do on the spot identification of suspects

BWS

The Booking Workstation (BWS) is a dedicated system for the creation of high-quality, electronic tenprint cards.

Some of the main features of the BWS are:

Compressing tenprint images

Storing tenprint data records in the system database or AFIS system

Printing tenprint cards

Searching for tenprint cards with using known text data in local database of the AFIS system

Verifying the identity of a person by their fingerprint against the local database or AFIS system

EWS

The Expert Workstation (EWS) is an entire fingerprint forensics lab in a single application. Once suspects are entered into the AFIS, fingerprint forensics experts can use EWS to analyze and code all of the prints as well as run searches on tenprint cards to latent prints, tenprint to tenprint, and latent to latent prints among the many available.

All solutions can be deployed as a Mobile Biometric Unit (MBU) for use at the crime scene or other mobile locations in a rugged, all-weather case with an optional long duration battery backup system to allow operation away from readily available power sources.

The MBU’s have a standard configuration with the option to include additional components depending on what software is used.

Optional Components that can be added or removed depending on deployment include:

Tenprint or Tenprint + Palm fingerprint scanner

High-resolution flatbed scanner

Web camera w/LED light and Tripod
